For the Cake:

For the Syrup:

Soak the cheese for 2 hours, then drain thoroughly. Mix the sugar, butter and yeast. Add the cheese and knead a little. Add the eggs and mix. Finally, add the starch and flour and knead a little more.

Spoon walnut sized portions of the mixture on to a buttered oven dish, or wide buttered cake pan. Space the portions about 3 cm. apart.

Bake 15 minutes in a warm oven. Prepare the syrup at this time, boiling the water, sugar and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Pour the boiling syrup over the cakes as soon as they come out of the oven. Place the dish or pan on the stove and boil on a very low heat, spooning syrup over the cakes. When the liquid is absorbed, let cool and serve.
